Sauteed cabbage is cooked in a smoky onion, tomato and pepper sauce, until it is silky, glistening and melting in your mouth. And we sautee cabbage without oil!My partner describes this as "the best cabbage he's ever had." To me, it's one of the only dishes my mother could get right, an easy weeknight meal to throw together at the end of a long day. It's comforting, delicious, an Eastern European dish with real flavour pedigree. You can serve it over brown rice, alongside potatoes, or just eat it on a crusty piece of wholegrain bread. If you're out of bell peppers, don't worry and omit them.
